........via NETFLIX and thought this 2014 movie was very good.
Rated favorably at 90% on the Tomatometer.

Starring Oscar Isaac, Jessica Chastain, David Oyelowo and Albert Brooks, this is the Godfather saga about heating oil.
Oscar Issac does a good job channeling Al Pacino and Jessica Chastain gets more screen time here to flesh out her character's development than Diane Keaton was allotted in the whole Godfather Trilogy.
This story doesn't have the scope of Coppola's lengthy mob masterpiece, but the same plot elements are present and are well-portrayed in this flick.
And there aren't as many characters in this crime story as the Corleone family had around, but that allows what's going on be examined thoroughly in much less than three parts.
So, this film certainly isn't a cinematic epic, but it's definitely more than your weekly "Law and Order" episode.
How much you'll like this movie will probably depend on how much you believe and accept Issac and Chastain in their roles.
I liked it.
Pretty much.
Anybody seen it?
